Wine & Glass Guide

For the ultimate in wine enjoyment, choose a glass which best fulfills your needs.
We offer you a variety of choices no matter what the occasion.

Select a suitable glass according to the particular types of wines and spirits of
your choice. We have the perfect glass just for you – made by Riedel.

Why Glasses Make The Difference

Each individual is the sovereign of his palate. We cannot dictate rigid rules that
override personal preferences. We can, however, give some valuable guidelines -
and over the years the response of wine lovers to our suggestions has been overwhelmingly

The shape of the glass forces the head to position itself in such a way that you
drink and do not spill.

Wide, open glass shapes require us to sip by lowering the head, whereas a narrow
rim forces the head to tilt backwards so that the liquid flows because of its gravity.
. Very large glasses with a capacity of more than 25 ounces allow you to "nose"
through the layers of bouquet by inhaling very gently and regularly for about ten

and alcoholic notes . This delivers and positions the beverage to different "taste
zones" of the palate.

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice add the spirits into the cocktail shaker. Squeeze a fresh lemon into the shaker as well. Put the lid on and shake, add to a tall glass then add lots of ice before slowly pouring the coke on top of the ice. Note: many bartenders will make a weaker version with only half a shot of each.
